Just got a post on the dash 'based on my likes' and let's just say the tags were stuff like 'gender critical' 'gender critical safe' 'detrans' and like... Tumblr?? What in this was based on my likes, I like pictures of foxes and LGBTQ positive stuff and posts like 'bark bark bites you' idk what this website wants from me I am so trans and have been for at least 5 years I don't need posts sounding like they're from my grandparents showing up??? On the gay website???

Randomly decided to check out the "for you" page today.
It's full of vegan posts about how people who eat meat are evil oppressors.
Closed the "for you" page.

How to know if the internet is stalking you
Today, I had to watch this one scene of a Wuxia movie that my friend recommended I watch, if only for its brutality. Not gonna lie, it hit hard. Then she tells me about the movie because I'm trying to show genuine interest and be supportive, but also because I'm a little bit curious. And the movie scene is COOL. I search up more scenes of the movie on Youtube. I watch about five or six scenes, and even though I don't know a word of Mandarin, I get the general gist of what's going on. My friend seems rather happy that my lily white ass is praising the performances. The visuals are STUNNING.
Then all of a sudden, ALL my Youtube ads are in fucking Chinese. All of them. Even the Gaza charity relief ones. Not sure which one, but it's probably Mandarin. I'm even recommended more articles in Mandarin online. I'm completely blindsided because apparently Crest 3D-white toothpaste feels the urge to advertise to me in Chinese despite me not knowing a single word of what I've just watched.
Now I feel inspired. I'm gonna go search up more films in languages that I don't speak at all (re: languages that aren't English or French). And I'm gonna watch as many as I can, and see which kind of ads follow my way. Bring it on. Send me Youtube advertisements of McDonalds in Malagasy. Show me ads for tampons in Swedish. Bring on those annoying truck bumpers, but in Arabic or Tagalog or Quechua or fucking Zulu, I don't care.
This is gonna be so fun!

"i'm making a thread comparing daenerys targaryen and cleopatra to show how amazing dany is" well which is it, do you wanna show how amazing she is or compare her to cleopatra, because doing the latter is not the slay you think it is

Beyond absurd how hopeless this site is at this point. it's been recommending me anime horny art blogs for months now (which i dont wanna see) ans now its just outright recommending Male Gay p*rn shit. it's like the site is going out of its way to misgender me for seemingly no reason

The only time this accursed site's algorithm works in my favor is when it crushes me under an avalanche of rat posts.

such is the tale of a ✨chronically online hypocrite✨
#(please forgive this old folk’s rambling for a hot min bc i need to get this off my chest somehow and in some way)#tl;dr: come and get into the hw idol series!!! we have ship discourse; more ship discourse; even more ship discourse#(yes ik people should be free to ship what they do b u t claiming a noncanon ship as canon and forcing it on everyone else is. not cool.)#yes yes friday’s mv was visually cute and ino.rin’s singing was peak b u t i feel like it has caused more harm than good in some way???#i cant b e l i e v e the jp hwtwt beef over friday’s mv is still going on mannnnnnnnn#no less than 3 separate people have made posts along the lines of#‘p l s stop using [official tags] to post about *[unnamed] non-official ships* p l s there’s a time and place for everything’#and n o n e of them even remotely run in the same circles yet they’re all banded together against a *certain* group lmfao never change hwtwt#lhy (esp yhy) shippers are always at the scene of the crime mannnnnnn#i cant see anything on their end of the naval battle (has every single lhy tag+account that i could think of blocked)#b u t it’s still really funny to witness on my twtdash against my will. i think i need to touch grass#‘kyhn isn’t canon either so why do you like it while being such a hater towards lhy—‘#great question!!!!!! it’s bc (disregarding the movie) they actually interact really well together~~~ like the honeypre event y k—#and also bc yukki treats hina really nicely all the time (even when she was being tsun and literally running from her feelings for him)#a n d hina loved him for who he truly was; even before his image change arc. and she also does her best to appeal to him and such~~~~~~~#but lhy. uh. they just bully hiyo 95% of the time and while they do look out for her bc they’re pals#they’re just pals. guys. and lxl have gone ‘uwu it must be u uwu’ to each other one too many times so shoehorning hiyo between them would.#be pretty weird ngl? esp since the ‘widely accepted’ portrayal of lhy as a trio is p much just hiyo x 2 dudes who dont even like each other#and. like. a branch of such portrayals usually seem to have aizo waft away from the ‘r/s triad’ to date mona instead which is. very weird.#some people just pick and choose aizo and mona interactions dont they. all they see is the umbrella scene and go ‘ah yes. canon’#they dont even read further to see how mona doesn’t even use the umbrella after aizo leaves (clear rejection)#a n d how aizo doesn’t even remember giving the umbrella to mona + mona’s entire existence in general after that#and that’s not even counting the grudge mona refuses to let go of even after what looks to be literal months#so for certain shippers to just casually shoo aizo out of the hiyoharem and into mona’s unwilling arms for the sake of yhy is. weird.#and like. shouldn’t he and yujiro have a say in this?? they’re more interested in each other than hiyo so just how are they being commonly#portrayed as hiyosimps in fanon? im so confused… like. wouldn’t they be equally obsessed with each other (as w/ hiyo) if they were a rstrio?#aaaaaa get this off my twtdash plsssssssss pls see this post twtapp pls let this affect your dumb algorithm im tired of the ship discourseee#as funny as the ‘lhy vs the world’ naval warfare is it’s getting. um. very annoying!!!! and now im missing nagisa more than ever s o b s#plsplsplsplsplsplsplsplspls influence the algorithm ragepost; ik big brother is 👀watching👀 so do your thing—#(pls feel free to duke it out with me too if y’all read this i need my birdsite algorithm to le a r n that i dont wanna see stuff like this)
